    Wolverine versus Bloodscream and Roughouse! Will Logan’s soul remain intact after this brutal battle for the ages?

    In a hidden bunker beneath a Greenwich Village warehouse, Logan is imprisoned by his enemies Roughouse and Bloodscream. He is suspended above the floor, his wrists bound by manacles supported by steel beams bolted to the walls. Periodically, Roughouse and Bloodscream enter the cell to torture Logan, in an effort to overtax his healing factor.

    When his tormentors leave, Logan recalls the events that led to his predicament. After deciding that his bombed-out apartment wasn't worth salvaging, he walked to the neighborhood grocery for some lunch. There, we came upon a thug demanding protection money from the owner. Logan did not interfere, but instead, tracked the bagman to the warehouse, where he was ambushed by Roughouse.

    After another beating from Roughouse, Bloodscream reveals that they are working for someone called Black Tarantula. Once the villains leave, Logan begins his escape. He deliberately breaks nearly every bone in his left forearm and wrist until he can extract his bloody limb. Using a lock pick he had hidden in the heel of his boot, he releases his other arm.

    Within their office, Bloodscream and Roughouse decide to kill Logan. As the muscle man approaches the door, a forklift driven by Logan plows through, striking Roughhouse. They exchange blows until Bloodscream enters the fray, causing Logan to bleed profusely. Logan slams his claws through Bloodscream's chest, forcing him to flee. Then Logan evades Roughouse, tricking the big man into shattering a pair of concrete supports, causing a collapse which buries Roughhouse under a pile of rubble. The villain rises from the wreckage, but Logan holds his fist to Roughouse's throat, threatening to pop his claws. The muscle man surrenders. As the police take Roughouse into custody, Logan strolls away, pondering his quest to determine just what it is that he "is the best at."
